How long should a woman be pregnant before having an abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. When is the best time to have an abortion during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The best time for an induced abortion is between 40-60 days after pregnancy. Additionally, women must undergo the procedure within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, the fetal body has not yet formed, the uterus is not too large, the uterine wall muscles are relatively thick, and the embryo is easily removed. The procedure takes a shorter time, with less bleeding and a quicker recovery after surgery. If the pregnancy is further along, the fetal skeleton has already formed, the uterus has become larger, and the uterine wall has thinned, making the surgery more difficult.
